Restful Nights Lead To Productive Days

Restful Nights Lead To Productive Days

No one will argue that sleep is a necessity. The question for most people
is how much sleep is essential to not only function during the day, but
to achieve optimum performance levels.

With so many individuals juggling jobs, family responsibilities and much
more, something has to give—often that something is sleep. Research
shows, however, that sacrificing sleep may not be the way to go, as most
people need about eight hours of good quality sleep each night to rest
the body and refresh the mind.

“Untreated, these problems can have a devastating effect on a person’s
quality of life,” Kneisley says. “This makes it difficult—physically
and mentally—to deal with normal everyday challenges. In fact, some
illnesses, such as high blood pressure and even heart attacks, can be
linked to certain sleep disorders.”
